Interactive video retrieval in the age of effective joint embedding deep models: lessons from the 11th VBS

This paper presents findings of the eleventh Video Browser Showdown competition, where sixteen teams competed in known-item and ad-hoc search tasks. Many of the teams utilized state-of-the-art video retrieval approaches that demonstrated high effectiveness in challenging search scenarios. In this paper, a broad survey of all utilized approaches is presented in connection with an analysis of the performance of participating teams. Specifically, both high-level performance indicators are presented with overall statistics as well as in-depth analysis of the performance of selected tools implementing result set logging. The analysis reveals evidence that the CLIP model represents a versatile tool for cross-modal video retrieval when combined with interactive search capabilities. Furthermore, the analysis investigates the effect of different users and text query properties on the performance in search tasks. Last but not least, lessons learned from search task preparation are presented, and a new direction for ad-hoc search based tasks at Video Browser Showdown is introduced

Reservation and inrormation system for travel agency

The goal of this project is to create Reservation System for small or medium-sized travel agency. Essential is a support for On-line tour's reservation, management of capacities of the tours and also support for search engine optimization. Application is divided into two parts. The internal part allows travel agency employers to manage tours, clients, reservations etc. The part for travel agency clients allows them to search for tours, make reservations and check the state of their reservations. The application is written in PHP programming language and using MySQL database server

User preferences in the domain of web shops

The goal of the thesis is first to find available information about user preferences, user feedback and their acquisition, processing, storing etc. The collected information is then used for making suggestions / advices for the creating an recommender system for the web shops (with special emphasis on implicit feedback). The following chapters introduces UPComp - our solution of the recommender system for the web shops. The UPComp is written in the programming language PHP and uses MySQL database. The thesis also includes testing of the UPComp on real-user web shop sites slantour.cz and antikvariat-ichtys.cz

Doporučovací systémy - modely, metody a experimenty

This thesis investigates the area of preference learning and recommender systems. We concentrated recommending on small e-commerce vendors and efficient usage of implicit feedback. In contrast to the most published studies, we focused on investigating multiple diverse implicit indicators of user preference and substantial part of the thesis aims on defining implicit feedback, models of its combination and aggregation and also algorithms employing them in preference learning and recommending tasks. Furthermore, a part of the thesis focuses on other challenges of deploying recommender systems on small e-commerce vendors such as which recommending algorithms should be used or how to employ third party data in order to improve recommendations. The proposed models, methods and algorithms were evaluated in both off-line and on-line experiments on real world datasets and on real e-commerce vendors respectively. Datasets are included to the thesis for the sake of validation and further research.

Koncentrovali jsme se především na specifika doporučování na menších e-commerce projektech a získávání implicitní zpětné vazby. Oproti jiným publikovaným pracem jsme se zaměřili na modelování vícero různých indikátorů zpětné vazby a navrhli jsme několik metod učení uživatelské preference na základě těchto indikátorů. Další části disertační práce se zaměřují na specifické problémy doporučování na malých e- commerce portálech: výběr doporučovacích algoritmů, používání externích datových zdrojů atd. Navrhované modely, metody I algoritmy byly porovnávány v off-line experimentech na reálných datasetech i v on-line experimentech za ostrého provozu.

GMAP 2023: 2nd Workshop on Group Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization

Although most existing recommender systems support single users, there are many scenarios where these systems target the needs of groups. Traits such as group mood, emotional contagion, and interpersonal relationships are often ill-defined characteristics, tend to mutate over time, and are usually missing from the systems’ modeling, even though they play an indispensable part in group modeling. Furthermore, producing timely and accurate recommendations for groups that are explainable, fair, and privacy-protecting is a notoriously tricky challenge since group members may have divergent views and needs. The second GMAP workshop aims at bringing together a community of researchers focused on group modeling, adaptation, and personalization. The objective is to explore the challenges and opportunities of developing effective methods and tools to support group decision-making. The workshop, we brought together researchers from several disciplines, including Psychology, Computer Science, and Organizational Behavior, to discuss their latest research and ideas on this topic. It also provided opportunities for participants to share their research and experiences and to collaborate and network with other researchers in this field. The long-term goal is to foster a vibrant and inclusive community of researchers committed to advancing our understanding of group modeling, adaptation, and personalization by bringing together experts from different disciplines and perspectives. Throughout this workshop, we aim to identify critical challenges and opportunities in this area and develop a shared research agenda to guide future work
